Study summary

This retrospective study aims to analyze the impact of postoperative changes in serum uric acid (SUA) levels on the prognosis of patients undergoing pancreatic cancer resection.

Read the detailed description

Serum uric acid is a risk factor for gallbladder cancer in men and has a strong effect on pancreatic cancer in women. It has also been shown that elevated intracellular serum uric acid can induce an inflammatory stress response, which may promote its transformation, while elevated extracellular serum uric acidy further stimulate tumor cell proliferation, migration, and survival, and promote the development of highly aggressive cancer. In this study, the changes of serum uric acid before and after surgery was used as a prognostic marker for the survival of pancreatic cancer patients.

Study population

Radical pancreatic cancer resection patients

Go through the criteria one by one — yes, no or not sure — and take the list to your doctor or the study team. Kept in this browser only.

Inclusion criteria

  • Patients with confirmed pancreatic cancer (primary)
  • Patients who underwent Radical resection of pancreatic cancer(Pancreaticoduodenectomy or Distal pancreatectomy)
  • The postoperative survival time was at least 6 weeks

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion Criteria:

  • No surgery was performed, or only palliative surgery/ was performed
  • Patients who underwent emergency hemodialysis or plasma exchange after surgery
  • History of gout or long-term urate-lowering therapy, such as allopurinol
  • Patients are missing follow-up data
  • Hydrochlorothiazide and furosemide were used
  • Chronic kidney disease
  • Oncolytic syndrome
  • Hemolytic anemia
  • Lead poisoning
  • Hyperparathyroidism
  • Hypothyroidism
  • A tyrosinase inhibitor was used
  • Patients with nonpancreatic primary tumors
  • Pregnant or postpartum women.
Terms in these criteria, in plain language(2)

Underlined terms in the criteria open these too. Explained by clinicaltrials.gg, not part of the registry record. The study team decides who can take part.

Histologically or cytologically confirmed

The diagnosis was confirmed by looking at a sample under a microscope: tissue from a biopsy or surgery (histology), or cells from a fluid or needle sample (cytology).

Your pathology report is the document that shows this.

Biopsy and archival tissue

A biopsy takes a small piece of tissue to examine. “Archival tissue” is a sample already taken, for example at diagnosis, and kept by the hospital.

Whether a stored sample will do depends on when it was taken, how much there is and what the study needs. Ask whether the study accepts your stored sample or needs a new biopsy.

Groups and cohorts

  • High serum uric acid

    The increase of after serum uric acid operation compared with that before operation is≥10% Normal levels serum uric acid are typically 178 to 360 μm (3 to 6.8 mg/dl).

    Diagnostic Test: serum uric acid test

  • Low serum uric acid

    The increase of after serum uric acid operation compared with that before operation \< 10% Normal serum uric acid levels are typically 178 to 360 μm (3 to 6.8 mg/dl).

    Diagnostic Test: serum uric acid test

What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. Overall survival

    Overall survival was defined as the time from diagnosis to death.

    Time frame: 3-5 years

Secondary outcomes

  1. Recurrence-free survival

    Recurrence-free survival is the length of time from either the date of diagnosis or the start of therapy for a disease to the date of the first loco-regional or systemic recurrence.

    Time frame: 3-5 years

  2. Cost of hospitalization

    The cost of the first hospitalization from admission to discharge.

    Time frame: 3 months

  3. Length of hospital stay

    The first day of hospitalization for the first admission to the last day of discharge.

    Time frame: 3 months

  4. Pancreatic fistula

    Whether or not pancreatic-intestinal anastomotic leakage occurred at the time of the first hospitalization.

    Time frame: 3 months

  5. Biliary fistula

    Whether or not a biliary-intestinal anastomotic leak occurred at the time of the first hospitalization.

    Time frame: 3 months

  6. Bleeding

    Whether or not there was bleeding after the first inpatient surgery.

    Time frame: 3 months

  7. Abdominal cavity infection

    Whether or not there was an abdominal infection after the first inpatient surgery.

    Time frame: 3 months

What these dates mean
Start.
When the first participant enrolled; while estimated, when the study expects to open to recruitment.
Primary completion.
When the last participant was examined or treated to collect data for the study's main question, its primary outcome. A study that stopped early gives the date its data collection stopped.
Completion.
When the last participant's last visit took place, for every outcome, secondary ones and side effects included: the end of the study. Often later than primary completion, sometimes the same day.
Actual and Est.
Actual means the registry says the date has happened. Est. (estimated) is a date the sponsor plans or expects. It can still move, and the sponsor is expected to change it to actual once it has passed.
No changes since tracking began. The registry record was last updated on Dec 19, 2025, before this site started recording changes on Sep 25, 2026. Its history is on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
